This academy began as a dream to immerse teachers into a week-long odyssey in Project Based Learning (PBL). This week long Odyssey in August will, in many ways, be a journey, culminating with your own presentations of learning to an authentic audience. You will find the experience challenging, stimulating, and practical.

You will join with other attendees to uncover the essentials of creating a good project as you develop a project that is ready to deliver when you walk into the classroom in September. The combination of theory and practice will deepen your understanding and skills in project development. You can expect lots of time to workshop projects with critical coaches and critical friends, as well as some whole group time listening, pondering, and asking questions. You can also expect to journal throughout the week.

Because the methods lack meaning without a larger context, we will focus on PBL through the lens of being a faithful presence in our communities. There will be lots of time to network and collaborate with other educators from across the province and elsewhere.

This website will provide you with some of the resources and information you need for the week; check regularly for updates. More information will be provided upon registration.

Feel free to connect anytime if you have questions. We look forward to seeing you in August.
